London’s new Ironworks venue drew an estimated 35,000 in its first season
The 7,000-capacity Thames-side room hosted five events in October and November, with Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte and Jamie Jones headlining.
An estimated 35,000 people attended five events at Ironworks, a new 7,000-capacity indoor venue on the Thames in London, across October and November. LWE developed the riverside room with placemaking organization PROJEKT, and the run was its first season.
The venue combines an industrial look with high-spec audiovisual production. Local communities, independent businesses and London-based creative collectives took part in shaping the design. Headliners included Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte, Jamie Jones, CamelPhat, Groove Armada and Egyptian Lover, among others.
Ironworks is a new mid-capacity venue for London, with room for electronic music events of several thousand people.
